 Large rocks have a 4% chance of [[mulch]]ing when thrown, slightly lower than other physical projectiles. This destroys the rock, though does +33% more damage.

 *Prior to [[0.20]], large rocks could be used by ogres and trolls to vastly increase the power of their [[Sandblast]] spells.
 *Prior to [[0.18]], the attack speed of Throwing weapons did not rely on your Throwing skill, making large rocks much easier to utilize even without training.
 *Prior to [[0.16]], they had a mulch rate of 2%, and their range was somewhat randomized; attempting to throw them long distances with low [[strength]] would often result in a toss that comes short of its target.
 *Prior to [[0.13]], large rocks were inherently [[penetration|penetrating]].
 *Prior to [[0.11]], [[mulch]]ing a large rock would create a stack of stones.
